Why a faster transition to renewables is on the wish-list for central bankers
Freshly released Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures show annual inflation dropped to 4% in May from a high of 4.6% in March, but as the Iran conflict has shown, Australia remains highly vulnerable to global oil supply risks. The latest drop can be fully attributed to a reduction in the increase in transport costs, as oil prices decreased and fuel excise cuts remained in place.
Stop ignoring the obvious: energy efficiency is Australia’s best diesel insurance policy
The Iran conflict has laid bare Australia’s dependence on refined oil product imports. Australia is particularly at risk when it comes to diesel imports. Diesel makes up more than half of Australia’s oil product use (excluding oil use for petroleum refining). Diesel is a key energy source for major economic sectors, in particular transport, mining, agriculture and construction.
We treat teachers like we treat mothers. That’s why we don’t pay them what they’re worth
OPINION Australia faces an unprecedented oil security challenge. Fatih Birol, the executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), described the current oil shock as “the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market”, and is calling on countries to act rapidly to reduce economic impacts. While Australia navigated recent oil shocks unscathed thanks to a high self-reliance in oil and oil products, the Iran crisis is markedly different.
Japan does not need Australian gas to keep the lights on in Tokyo
Released last week, the Australian governmentsFuture Gas Strategystates that our trade partners [] are relying on Australian gas to transition their economies to net zero, but falling demand and over-contracting from Japan, our largest LNG export customer, raise questions over this claim. Japan has onseveral occasionsstressed the importance of Australian LNG for its energy security.
The four bigtakeaways from Australia's latest climate assessments
In case you missed them, the government released its annual climate change statement, the emissions projections and quarterly emissions updates, and the CCA released its annual progress report last week. Here are some highlights for me: 💠 Two sectors have been doing the bulk of the effort when it comes to emissions reductions. The land sector drove most of the emissions reductions between 2005 and 2020. Now electricity has taken over, and is expected to drive most emissions reductions to 2030.

Australia’s national hydrogen strategy needs to separate financial reality from hype

Australia's national hydrogen strategy needs to separate financial reality from hype
Despite all the hype, hydrogen does offer some genuine opportunities for Australia in the race to decarbonise, and we must act decisively – and choose carefully – to capitalise on our advantages. IEEFA recently made a submission to the government’s review of its National Hydrogen Strategy.
Australia can and should eradicate its gas supply gap - but not with more gas
By Amandine Denis-Ryan & Kevin Morrison New analysis shows future gas supply gaps could be eradicated by energy efficiency and electrification, while also alleviating the cost of living crisis.

Zali Steggall's new climate change bill comes just as economic sectors step up
Yesterday, Zali Steggall, the independent member for Warringah, introduced her long-awaited climate change bill to the Australian parliament. Much of the debate around the bill centres on what needs to be done for Australia to reach net zero emissions by 2050. That’s a crucial discussion — but it’s equally vital to recognise what’s already been committed.
Australia needs to cut electricity sector emissions by 60% by 2030
A new report released by ClimateWorks Australia today shows Australia’s electricity sector needs to deliver a much greater cut than the 28 per cent emissions reduction analysed for the Finkel Review if we are to meet our 2030 target and put the country on a trajectory to net zero emissions by 2050.
No place for new coal in Australia’s decarbonised pathway
Recent blackouts in South Australia have political leaders turning to coal and particularly ‘ultra-critical’ or so-called ‘clean coal’ to fill the power gap in the national electricity grid. The causes of the recent South Australian power failures and similarly close calls in NSW remain the subject of partisan politics, but new coal-fired power stations are not a realistic part of the solution. Here’s why.
Managing carbon-intensive materials in a decarbonizing world without a global price on carbon
As set out in Section 1, a common global carbon price and international trading in emissions permits could theoretically solve the issues associated with the production of emissions-intensive commodities in a decarbonizing world. However, the current global climate policy framework is built on national approaches, and in practice there appears to be little prospect of a harmonized treatment of emissions-intensive production through a global carbon price or emissions trading.
